Crash Report – Arma Reforger

Revision as of 18:18, 13 March 2023

Crash Reporter

In the unfortunate event of a crash, the Crash Reporter collects crash information in order to allow Bohemia Interactive to collect and process the crash reasons.

This is an important stone in the user feedback process.

The Crash Reporter dialog.

Dialog

The Crash Reporter dialog offers a feedback field allowing the end user to provide details regarding the crash:

The most important aspect of a report is reproducibility: which relevant steps lead to this crash
If the reproduction is not guaranteed (e.g a "random" crash), then an accurate description of the context is welcome
If there was absolutely nothing relevant, just sending crash files will do

Correct Feedback	Incorrect Feedback
100% repro: place a HMMWV, get in as driver, then switch to any rear seat = crash Using World Editor with these mods crashes on opening Everon The Game Master teleported me twice in 5s, then I crashed	Pasting in viewport does that It doesn't work It crashed Fix it!

Dialog Availability
Operating System	Dedicated Server	Game	Workbench
Windows
Linux		N/A	N/A

The dialog allows the user to cancel report sending.

The files are automatically sent if the dialog is not available, unless the disableCrashReporter startup parameter is used.

Crash Reports Log

CrashReports.log is a file containing information from crash reports that were sent to Bohemia Interactive through Crash Reporter. It contains the following crash information:

Date and Time
Game version
State - Canceled, Failed (with error code), Successful (with report's GUID)

The GUID can be used as a reference to keep track while communicating with Bohemia Interactive.

ⓘ

The Dedicated Server stacks reports as the server may run unattended with autorestart. Only the last crash report is kept for Game/Workbench.

Logs Directory

Logs are stored in the following directory:

Operating System	Logs Directory
